What it does

Ijfw New Project is an agent skill from FerroxLabs/ijfw. Bootstrap a fresh project of any domain -- software, book, marketing campaign, landing page, design system, or product launch. Trigger: 'new project', 'start a project', 'bootstrap project', 'init a project', 'scaffold a project', /ijfw-new-project

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `templates/book.brief.md`, `templates/campaign.brief.md` and `templates/design-system.brief.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Project scaffolding, Landing pages and Design systems. The repository describes itself as: IJFW — It Just Fcking Works. Ferrox Labs' local-first infrastructure for AI coding agents: shared memory, smart routing, multi-AI cross-audits, disciplined workflow. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Project scaffolding

Example prompts

“new project”
“start a project”
“bootstrap project”
“/ijfw-new-project”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

Detect domain (one question, max)
Memory recall
Brief skeleton
Socratic fill (one question at a time)
ROADMAP stub (optional, prompted)
Persist + LOCK
Seed AGENTS.md (idempotent)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eda62f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ijfw New Project loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 605 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.4k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

since: 1.5.0

IJFW New Project

Domain-agnostic bootstrap. Software is one domain; book, campaign, landing-page, design-system, and launch are first-class peers. The end state is the same: a confirmed brief, durable memory, and a clear next move.

Step 1 -- Detect domain (one question, max)

Read the user's first line. Map silently:

Phrase contains	Domain
"app", "site", "API", "service", "CLI", "library", "tool"	`software`
"book", "chapter", "manuscript", "novel", "essay collection"	`book`
"campaign", "ad", "funnel", "email sequence", "drip"	`campaign`
"landing page", "one-pager", "splash", "lead magnet"	`landing-page`
"design system", "component library", "brand kit", "tokens"	`design-system`
"launch", "release plan", "PR/FAQ", "go-to-market"	`launch`

If no signal, ask once: One word: software / book / campaign / landing-page / design-system / launch? Accept aliases. Do not interrogate. Do not assume software.

Step 2 -- Memory recall

Call ijfw_memory_recall with the project name + domain. If matches return, surface up to 3 relevant prior decisions inline:

I remember: <project> -- <decision>. Want me to apply that pattern here?

If empty, say clean slate -- no prior context and continue. Never silent.

Step 3 -- Brief skeleton

Write .ijfw/memory/brief.md from the domain template:

software -> claude/skills/ijfw-new-project/templates/software.brief.md
book -> claude/skills/ijfw-new-project/templates/book.brief.md
campaign -> claude/skills/ijfw-new-project/templates/campaign.brief.md
landing-page -> claude/skills/ijfw-new-project/templates/landing-page.brief.md
design-system -> claude/skills/ijfw-new-project/templates/design-system.brief.md
launch -> claude/skills/ijfw-new-project/templates/launch.brief.md

If the template file is absent in this checkout, fall back to a minimal skeleton (goal / audience / success criteria / out-of-scope / first move). Templates are the contract; the skill must still produce a brief if they haven't shipped yet.

The skeleton fields are domain-shaped, not software-shaped:

book -> premise / reader / chapter spine / voice / publication target
campaign -> offer / audience / channels / KPI / objection map
landing-page -> promise / proof / CTA / scroll narrative / metric
design-system -> tokens / primitives / patterns / governance / consumers
launch -> PR/FAQ / target date / channels / readiness gates

Step 4 -- Socratic fill (one question at a time)

Walk the user through the brief in order. ONE question per turn. Echo back every 3 turns: So far: <2-line recap>. Yes?

Never paste the empty template and wait. Never dump a numbered list. The brainstorm-discipline invariants from ijfw-workflow apply: one question, no offscreen research, no silent advance, visible deliverable.

If the user gives a thin answer, do one 5-Why drill, then move on. If they say enough or skip, stop filling and move to LOCK with what you have.

Show full SKILL.md (253 more words)Show less

Step 5 -- ROADMAP stub (optional, prompted)

After brief is full, ask once: Want a milestone roadmap stub now, or jump to first move?

On roadmap: write .planning/ROADMAP.md with 3-5 milestones inferred from the brief. Each milestone is one line: name + success criterion. No tasks yet -- that belongs to ijfw-plan per milestone.

On jump: skip ROADMAP. The brief alone is enough to start.

Mark the active milestone with .planning/<milestone>/ directory + an empty MILESTONE.md placeholder. Future planning skills key off this directory.

Step 6 -- Persist + LOCK

Call ijfw_memory_store with:

key: project_meta
value: JSON object {domain, name, brief_path, created_at, milestone}

This is the single source of project type identity for downstream skills. ijfw-design, ijfw-plan-check, ijfw-workflow, ijfw-verify, and ijfw-ship all read project_meta.domain to adapt their checklists.

Paste the brief back in-chat (max 8 lines) and end:

Project locked. Brief at .ijfw/memory/brief.md. Domain: <domain>. Next: <recommended-next-skill> (software -> ijfw-plan, book -> chapter outline, campaign -> offer matrix, etc.)

Step 7 -- Seed AGENTS.md (idempotent)

Invoke the ijfw-agents-md skill with intent context (brief.md). It will seed AGENTS.md and the platform adapter (CLAUDE.md, GEMINI.md, etc.) only if those files are absent. Already-present files are left untouched.

Domain non-negotiables

Do not assume software. Phrases like "tests", "deploy", "CI" are domain-specific; do not surface them outside software / landing-page.
Do not require git. A book or campaign project may have no repo at all. Skip git-dependent steps gracefully; tell the user once if skipped.
Do not write code. This skill produces a brief, a memory record, and an optional roadmap. Implementation belongs to downstream skills.

Output format

DOMAIN:   <detected or chosen>
BRIEF:    .ijfw/memory/brief.md (<N> lines)
ROADMAP:  .planning/ROADMAP.md (<N> milestones) | skipped
MEMORY:   project_meta stored
